Seedlings

I wasn't sure when to start the seeds inside, but since Aldi's is advertising seedlings later this week, I guess I wasn't too far off.  The tomatoes were started last week and the peppers (front tray), were 2 weeks before that.  I'm trying a pack of mixed hot peppers from Diggers.  It's supposed to have habaneros in it.  I found another place that has a larger selection of hot peppers sold by type, but I figured I'd hold off on have 75 habanero pepper plants until we have a more permanent place (I don't want to dig any more garden space than we already have).

I bought one of those hanging strawberry plant things (like the upside down tomato planter).  Then I thought - if I grow strawberries in it, the birds will just eat them all.  Go figure, we put out seed, bread, fresh fruit, and honey for the birds and then we get daily visitors.  I've seen the same thing sold as a pepper grower, so I may try razzmatazz peppers in it.  They are upright peppers that come in different colors.

Next on the planting list - sunflowers and comfrey.
